FAMOUS OLD FRIlltV WIIjIi PASS
WHKN HKHIWAV IS COMPLRTRD
(Contlnuod from Pngo Ono)
tho Holso basin In 1 S 0 2 , there wns
n groat rush from Raglo valley and
othor placer sections of Oregon to
tho Idaho field To caro for this
trnfflo a man who ownod tho ferry
then had to build a uov boat nnrt
wont up Into Hiirnt rlvor canyon -md
necurcd big Cottonwood tlmheit
which ho brought with grent difficul
ty to tho Snnko rlvor.
"During ono of tho Indian upris
ings of tho enrly day, so I havo been
told, tho ferry was attacked about
tho tlmo nn emigrant train was
crossing. Tho IndlniiH did not so
euro tho forry, but they stayed near
by nnd tho emigrants wore held
thoro for nearly threo months.
"Whllo thoro wero other ferries
ncrosa tho rlvor, Including that nt
Glemm Ferry, nnd 0110 nenr Ilome
dato, tho ono nt Clonus Ferry and
Olds Forry woro tho most used.
This was on account of tho narrow
road around Hock Point, near the
Slides opposite Wolser.
"Tho condition ()f that road in
tho early day may ho apprecl.itod b)
tho experience of n stockman named
Dooey, who lost six hornet and his
ontlro buckaroo outfit whllo trying
to pass tho point during n Htngo of
high wnter.
"The ferry has not ulwnys boon
a source of blessing to Its owner
At times It I111H been 11 prosperoiii
proporty. This wns truo In tho vory
early days before tho railroad, but
from 1884 to 1912 It wns subject
to many tribulations. With the
coming of tho nuto toiinlst, starting
In about 1912 It again became a
monoy ntnker. Last year for ex
ample wo carried about 10 ears per
day ncross tho rlvor Tho present
ferry In largo enough to carry eight
sinull cars or six largo one, more
than twlco what tho ferries of the
early day could transport.
"During Its half contury and mn.'e
of existence tho forry tins hnd many
owners, After Olds established It
for tho Hudson Uny company It pas-tod
Into vnrlous hands Including
(leorgn Oreen who sold tho old Ilii'
llorso iiilnn down tho rlvor to take
the forry. jt another tlmo It was
operated by a Bciuuwmoii who with
his Umatilla Indian wife raised a
largo family on tho Imtiks of the
Snnko rlvor. The Pnckwoods of
Hakor, and n mini named Darr.
whoso daughter was Mrs. Jas J. Far

nlso,
Thni' Owner Driiuii
"Threo of tho owners of tho ferry
havo been drowned whllo opoii-llng
It during high wnter. One of these
Oeorgo Hnrper went to his death In
n pecullnr ninnner Ho wns drag
ging a cnblo ncross tho river, when
In Home manlier the cnbl twisted
nbout his ankle and drugged him
Into tho stream. When tho coblo
was pulled to tho Idaho iihor.t his
body wns brought with It.
"My father bought ferrv or'
glunlly from n Mr. Sndo In 1908
The business then was at n low ebb.
Hn contlnuod to operate It until
my brother Carl took charge of
It. Ho sold It to Walter HurgoiM
In 1910, hut In tho fall, with V W
tho Ontnrlo Wnter System, he
bought It back. I inircli 1 -ed Mr
Chambers, now Superintendent of
with my brother have operated t '
since then.
"Ye wo expect to see It puss
this year. Wo know It had to renin
sonio tlmo, nnd nlrendv have offer"
for tho equipment. Tliy wuut the
hunt down tho rlvor and wo win iry
to tnka it thoro, though that will bo
a hard task.
Though Olds Ferry will pass
this year It has withstood the bnt
tlo for n longor season than any of
ItH contemporaries or nny of Its ri

oporntod at tho mouth of tho Mal

In tho enrly dnvs. It passed year
